My deepest sympathies to Steve and all the family. Barbara was the most loving person. She always had a smile for all she met. She was one of the strongest women I knew, and I was proud to call her my friend. She will be greatly missed. May Barbara rest in peace in the hands of the Lord.

My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.â€

Steve and Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss of Barbara. We all worked together for many years and it seemed as though she was part of the family. I know that Barbara was a devout Christian and will be in Heaven where she will live forever.
